My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 401 Move the capital?

Wang Lin sighed softly: "Prince, have you heard the words of Li Xiang and the other four? If the official family tours the two Zhejiang provinces in the south, they will surely wrap up the wealth in the southeast and form another country.

At that time, you and I will have no way to return to heaven, and the Song Dynasty will only have one way to perish. "

Zhao Gou's immature face was full of righteous indignation, he stomped his feet, "Master, I will also write to Father Emperor, please take it back!"

Zhao Gou left angrily.

"Under the overturned nest, there are no eggs. For the current plan, we have no other way to go except to resist the gold." Wang Lin looked up at the blue sky. At this time, the north wind was howling and the temperature was getting lower.

Zhao Fujin stepped forward to tighten the cloak for him, and said softly: "My lord, don't get angry, most people in the court still insist on resisting gold. Everyone knows that we have no way to retreat, and only a deadly battle can survive! "

At this time, Guo Zhishun was seen leaving and returning.

Zhao Fujin knew that Guo Zhishun must have important military affairs to discuss when he came, so he took Chongde and others back to the back house.

……

After listening to Guo Zhishun's words, Wang Lin fell into a long silence.

Sure enough, at the same time, there was a wave of voices in the court to move the capital to Luoyang or Chang'an.

In fact, not long ago, Wang Lin also had this idea.

Without him, the geographical location of Tokyo is really embarrassing.

Located in the hinterland of the Central Plains in Yimapingchuan, as long as the anti-gold defense line in Hebei or Hedong is not secured, Tokyo will be directly exposed to the iron hooves of the gold men.

In a sense, the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty has something to do with the capital Kaifeng.

From a geographical point of view, Luoyang is undoubtedly a more suitable choice. Luoyang sits in the danger of mountains and rivers, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and its situation is the best in the world.

But the relocation is such a arduous and arduous project, and it costs a lot of money. It is definitely not a good opportunity to move the capital at this time.

More importantly, Tokyo is the center of water transportation in the Song Dynasty. Grain and rice from the south will be continuously transported to the capital through the canal. Once the capital is moved, water transportation alone will be a huge problem.

So Wang Lin weighed it over and over again, and gave up this idea.

In his plan, in the future, Yanyun's old place will be gradually recovered, and finally the pattern of controlling the world with Youzhou as the capital will be realized.

Just like the Ming people, the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country.

This discussion between the DPRK and China will definitely not become the mainstream.

Because even if the capital is to be moved, the capitulators or peacemakers will tend to Hangzhou.

However, Li Gang and the main combatants would never agree to move the capital.

It's impossible for Guo Zhishun not to understand this, he went and returned, but it was actually for other things.

Thinking of this, Wang Lin smiled: "The matter of moving the capital is not advisable for now. Is Guo Xiang still busy?"

Wang Lin waved his hand again and said: "Go and invite Yuan'er to meet Guo Xiang."

Guo Zhishun hesitated for a long time before standing up and bowing: "I think that with the honor of the prince, it is enough to sit in the capital and remotely control the soldiers and horses to defend. You must not take such a big risk in battle!"

At the moment there were only the two of them in the hall, and Guo Zhishun, who called himself a "minister", had obviously taken Wang Lin's standpoint and began to speak, regarding him as the lord.

Wang Lin shook his head slowly: "Guo Xiang, Gu understands your kindness. But Gu's heart has been decided.

If I don't personally sit in Hebei, it will be difficult to unite the hearts of the generals.

The defense of Hebei is very important. If there is a slight mistake, Tokyo will not be protected, and our wealth and life will be destroyed. "

Guo Zhishun sighed, he obviously knew that Wang Lin's promises were hard to change, and he was just making some suggestions as a plan.

He thought for a while, then bowed and said, "I thought that the prince can't lose control of the western army in Hedong. In my opinion, I should use thunderous means to transfer troops to defend Hebei, and the generals under the prince's command will take over and lead the western army. lest there be troubles in the future..."

The Chong family has a grudge against Wang Lin.

The world knows it.

Guo Zhishun's remarks were obviously worried that Wang Lin would not be able to effectively control the Western Army.

After all, the Western Army claims to have 30 soldiers and horses, and it is also an important military force that cannot be ignored in the Song Dynasty.

At present, under Wang Lin's command, the Shenwu Army, Longxiang Army, Fuhu Army's elite plus the newly recruited, reorganized and brought together the rest of the Hebei Army, most of the Henan Army, and the local Xiang Army drawn from the southeast, there are only 25 people. about.

Among them, at least 5 to [-] people must be used to defend the capital to ensure safety.

That is to say, in terms of military strength, the total strength of Wang Lin's troops is actually not as good as that of the Western Army under Zhong Shidao's command.

Wang Lin fell silent.

He knew that the Western Army was a big hidden danger.There is a possibility of disobedience.

But in the Western Army, Liu Yanqing's troops and Wu Jie's and Wu Lin's troops were basically controlled by Wang Lin.Calculated in this way, the number of soldiers and horses that Zhong Shidao really commands is around 15.

One of the important factors why Wang Lin could not directly accept Zhao Ji's Zen position as emperor was that the Western Army would have a great risk of rebellion at that time.

Wang Lin said slowly: "Guo Xiang, do you have something to teach me?"

Guo Zhishun bowed deeply.

Just as she was about to speak, Guo Yuan hurried into the living room, seeing her daughter coming in, Guo Zhishun shut her mouth instantly.

It's a matter of military affairs, how can a woman hear about it?
After seeing her father salute, Guo Yuan obediently sat beside Wang Lin.

Seeing Guo Zhishun's hesitant expression, Wang Lin said indifferently: "Guo Xiang said bluntly that Yuan'er and my husband and wife are one body, so you don't have to hide anything from her."

Guo Yuan couldn't help being ashamed, she secretly glanced at Wang Lin, her pretty face became more gentle.

Guo Zhishun felt hot in his heart.

He knew that Wang Lin was sending him a signal of trust.

Guo Zhishun settled down and said: "I believe that there are three strategies to deal with the Western Army."

Hearing that her father called himself a minister, Guo Yuan's heart skipped a beat, but she lowered her head and pretended she didn't hear anything.

"Transfer Zhong Dao and the sons of the Zhong family to Hebei as generals, arrange them properly, and be directly controlled by the prince, and then transfer 2-3 generals from the Qingzhou Army to the Western Army as commanders to achieve a smooth transition. This is the best policy."

"Relocate the Zhongzhong Division and the Western Army from Hedong and place them on the Hebei defense line, and the general under the prince's command will lead a part of the Eastern Army to sit in Hebei to control the Western Army. The rest of the Eastern Army will be transferred to the Hedong. This is the middle strategy."

"In the name of going to Beijing to report on their duties, transfer the teachers to return to the court. Dismiss from office for the people, and choose another good general to join the Western Army as the main general. This is the worst policy."

Guo Zhishun put forward three solutions to deal with the family army.

In fact, having said that, what he really agrees with in his heart is the third one, which is to directly deceive Master Zhong to return to Beijing, and even kill him to avoid future troubles.

At that time, even if some generals of the Western Army rebel, it will not be successful.

After all, the food, fodder and military pay of the Western Army are all stuck with the imperial court.

Wang Lin was silent.

The Chong family has been operating in the Western Army for nearly a hundred years and has served as generals in successive dynasties.

Especially in the past three to five years, the brothers Zhongshi and Dao have been commanded by the Western Army, and the children of the Zhong family are all over the army, with a deep foundation.

This kind of teacher's way must not be easily moved.

Furthermore, at this moment, when employing people, slaughtering the children of the Zhong family is not conducive to the formation of a united anti-golden united front.

It's just that Zhong Zhong died at his hands, and the resentment of the Zhong family's children towards him is undeniable, and the hatred is hard to explain.

If he proclaims himself emperor, the Chong family army will rebel.

This hidden danger must be resolved sooner or later.

In fact, he once had the idea of ​​replacing Zhong Shidao with Zong Ze.

But Zongze is a civil servant after all, although he is capable and tough, but he joined the Western Army alone, like a sheep among wolves, it is difficult to play a role.

In the near future, he plans to place some martial arts disciples from the court to the Western Army, which is actually laying the groundwork for the disposal of the disciples of the Zhong family and the disciples of the Zhong family.

It even happened that Chao Gai and other troops from overseas were transferred back to the Western Army to strengthen their right to speak in the Western Army.

But Chao Gai and this group of people are his pawns in ambush for the back road.

If it is really impossible to retreat, retiring overseas is his last resort to protect his family.

Thinking of this, Wang Lin said in a deep voice: "Mr. Guo, let me think about the matter of the Western Army. The defense of the east is very important. If it causes turmoil in the Western Army, the consequences will be disastrous."

Guo Zhishun nodded: "That's natural. There are still two ministers who want to recommend to the lord. These two people have a literary skill and a martial arts, and they can be of great use."

"Guo Xiang, please tell me."

"First, Zhang Jun, the imperial censor. This man is young and vigorous, dedicated to the country, loyal, courageous and resolute, and has extraordinary talents."

Wang Lin's eyes lit up: "I know this person. He was a Jinshi in the eighth year of Zhenghe. He is from Sichuan. His name is Deyuan, right?"

Guo Zhishun was surprised.

He didn't expect Wang Lin to know Zhang Jun's existence.

This person is his direct subordinate, with a very close relationship, and he is regarded as a teacher.

Guo Zhishun hurriedly hit the rails while it was hot: "In Beijing, I am serving the censor. But, please rest assured, my lord, this man is upright. Although he is serving the censor, he has never impeached Zhongliang arbitrarily."

Guo Zhishun knew that Wang Lin hated the officials, so he quickly explained that Zhang Jun had never framed him.

Wang Lin smiled: "Even if I have been impeached, it doesn't matter. I know that this person is capable and has the appearance of a famous minister. I am worried that there is no one available in the Grand Marshal's mansion. This person is quite appropriate."

Guo Zhishun was overjoyed, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, my lord!"

Wang Lin waved his hand: "Is there another person?"

Above the imperial court, in the power field, there have always been factions with each other. Guo Zhishun has gradually become popular, and it is common sense to recommend his own people for promotion.

Since he is Zhang Jun, a famous minister of his generation, he can use it.

In Guo Zhishun's eyes, this is the expression of Wang Lin's kindness to him.

He paused, and then said: "There is another person waiting for Liu Qi to close the door. This son was born in the general family. He is brave and good at fighting. He is good at archery. He is worthy of being a general. This son, who came with the minister, is waiting in front of the palace. call."

"Liu Qi? But the son of Liu Zhongwu, the former Luchuan Jiedu envoy?"

"Exactly!"

Wang Lin laughed loudly: "This is the talent of a good general. Guo Xiang, you have no selfish intentions in recommending talents for the country. Sure enough, Gu has not misunderstood you. Please invite him in."

Guo Zhishun's complexion was reddish, and his heart was excited.

Selfishness is still there.

It's just that the two Zhang Jun and Liu Qi recommended by him are available people, and they will be famous ministers and generals in the future.

……

Wearing a moon white gown, Liu Qi walked in slowly, with a respectful demeanor, and bowed in salute: "I pay my respects to the lord!"

Wang Lin looked deeply.

Sure enough, he has a handsome appearance and a voice like a bell.

As a general, Liu Qi is now an insignificant official under Zhongshu Sheng's family in the capital. Of course, he has seen Wang Lin many times, but this is the first time Wang Lin has seen him.

Wang Lin got up and said with a smile, "Uncle Xin, please sit down."

Liu Qi's attitude was stunned, and he was at a loss for a while.

One is Wang Lin's courtesy to him, and the other is that Wang Lin actually knows his words.

As for his name, only his colleagues and old friends like Guo Zhishun are known in Beijing.

"Sit down, you and I are about the same age, so there is no need to be formal. I know that you have been in the army with your father since you were young, and you are good at riding and shooting. Now I am going to Hebei to employ people. If you want to, you can come with me to Hebei to sit in the university for a while. The Marshal's Mansion is a general, and he will have a day when he will be sent out to lead an army."

Liu Qi was almost ecstatic.

Guo Zhishun recommended him to pay homage to Wang Lin in order to be promoted, but he actually didn't hold much hope.

With his current status being unknown and his family background declining, how could Wang Lin value him.

result……

Not only did Wang Lin treat him courteously, but he also bluntly wanted to put him next to the commander-in-chief's mansion to train him, which almost made him reach the sky in one step.

Even Guo Zhishun was a little stunned.
